Josh Turner, ‘Punching Bag’ – Album Review
Josh Turner's booming bass voice has never sounded better than on songs from his fifth studio album 'Punching Bag,' in stores June 12. However, it's not enough to lift many of the tracks past mediocre.

In mid-April, tragedy struck Brooklyn, Ohio when a man killed his wife and two daughters inside of a local Cracker Barrel. After he committed three murders, police had no choice but to shoot him. To help ease the pain felt by the bery small community, Josh Turner stopped by the restaurant parking lot to put on a live performance for a jam-packed parking lot.
When Josh Turner released his debut album 'Long Black Train,' it didn't take him long to turn the heads of country music fans. While the album produced three hit singles, we chose 'Long Black Train' for the Top 100 Country Songs because of its critical success.
In the video trailer for his new album 'Punching Bag,' Josh Turner gives fans an intimate, guided tour, expanding on some of the inspirations, lyrical narratives and the overall vibes of the songs that live on the record. He talks about having endurance and withstanding the inevitable punches life will throw at you –hence the title- and how he values quantity time over quality time, even though most people give lip service to the latter.
The wait is almost over for new Josh Turner music -- his fifth studio album, 'Punching Bag,' is set to hit stores nationwide on Tuesday, June 12.
The irony of Josh Turner's 'Time Is Love' video is that by the end, everyone has listened to the singer's message except for the singer. The just-released clip ends with Turner alone in gym shorts on a dark basketball court. All of his friends have gone home to the women and families that they love.
Josh Turner had better get used to the early morning hours this weekend because on Monday (March 19) he will co-host the 'Today' show, alongside Hoda Kotb. Monday will mark the second time Turner has filled in for Kathie Lee Gifford on the show.
The lyrics to Josh Turner's new single, 'Time Is Love,' were a long time in the making for songwriter Tony Martin, but the wait was exactly what the song needed to become one of the most talked about new singles at country radio.
When we first met 'American Idol' Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery just under a year ago, he sang Josh Turner's 'Your Man' a capella for the judges and was upstreamed to the next round. McCreery has not concealed the fact that he admires Turner and that he ultimately hopes to emulate Turner's career. Even though Turner supports McCreery as he continues to evolve into a country superstar in his own right, he doesn't return the admiration for McCreery's on-the-go lifestyle right now.
When he's not delivering personal devotions to God, Josh Turner has a sneaky sexiness that fans -- especially female fans -- have come to count on and appreciate. His new song, 'Time Is Love,' is that kind of song, but it's delivered with the originality of karaoke night.
